Oscar producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron are happy about the new addition to the presenters list, reported Ace Showbiz. "We are happy to re-unite the 'Avengers' cast to present on our show. Audiences who enjoyed the year's biggest box office hit will be excited to see these terrific actors back together again," they said in a joint statement.
